Chapter 253
Jinglan Court.

Zhang Momo reported: "Old Madam, Miss San is here."

The old lady pinched the center of her eyebrows, her complexion was not very good, but she still said: "Let Qingqian come in."

"Yes, old lady."

Lin Qingqian entered the old lady's bedroom, smiled slightly, and was about to salute when she heard the old lady say: "There is no need to salute, come and sit beside grandma."

She obediently replied "Yes." Lin Qingqian went to sit beside the old lady.

"I heard that you were unwell a few days ago, is it better?"

"Grandmother Lao is worried, Qingqian is just a little weak and dizzy, it's all right now."

"Well, it's fine."

Lin Qingqian put the lily and lotus seed soup in front of her, and said in a soft voice: "It's hot, I'm afraid that grandma won't have a good appetite, so I specially made some lily and lotus seed soup, can I have some for grandma?"

If it was in the past, the old lady would have tasted the food made by Lin Qingqian herself, but today she looked sleepy, as if she had something on her mind and had no appetite, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's put it away for now. Grandmother will taste it later."

"OK then."

Nanny Zhang took the lily and lotus seed soup down, and Lin Qingqian massaged the old lady's temples while asking softly, "Grandmother, is there something bothering you, or if you tell me, see if Qingqian can help you." .”

The old lady squinted her eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "It's because Mrs. Xu was grounded."

"Is it about mother?"

"That's right... Mrs. Xu was grounded and announced that she was unwell and needed to rest. Just now, your eldest sister came. For some reason, there are rumors all over the streets and alleys of the capital city, saying that your father doted on his concubine and killed his wife, so that the Wen family has been in charge of the house." , and said that she intends to make Mrs. Wen the wife, your eldest sister is naturally dissatisfied, and clamored to give an explanation, to lift Mrs. Xu's foot restraint and restore the power of the family, so as to quell the rumors."

The old lady's eyes darkened, and her tone was slightly cold: "But she, Mrs. Xu, has done so many insane things and harmed so many heirs of our Lin family. It's not bad if she hasn't been divorced. She still wants to be in charge of the family, just dreaming!"

Lin Qingqian pretended to be worried and said, "Then what should we do with these rumors?"

The old lady frowned, and said helplessly: "This is exactly what I am worried about. It is naturally impossible for Mrs. Xu to lift the confinement and restore the power of the family. Divorce her and let your father marry a regular wife. Although the prime minister's mansion is organized in an orderly manner, it is a concubine's house after all, and it is really inappropriate for her to be in charge of the house all the time, and it is easy to be talked about."

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a perfect solution, so the old lady was very troubled.

Lin Qingqian's eyes flashed, "Qingqian has a way to solve grandmother's worries, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

The old lady raised her eyes and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Nowadays there are rumors all over the world, it's just because San Yiniang has been in charge of the family for a long time, and she has fallen into disrepute. If it wasn't for San Yiniang, or if she hadn't been in charge of the family for a long time, outsiders would naturally not be able to make irresponsible remarks."

The old lady had a half-knowledge, "Qingqian means..."

Lin Qingqian smiled lightly, and said: "There are second aunt, sixth aunt, seventh aunt and other father's concubines in the house. If they take turns in charge of the house for a month, it will not be that they are alone in charge of the house for a long time. Unwell, the aunts will help run the house, which also dispels the rumors outside that the father dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife."

Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded her head in agreement and said, "That's right, you're really smart, you can come up with a solution right away, so I'll do as you said, and let Wen and the others take turns running the house starting tomorrow."

"Grandmother was joking, Qingqian just didn't want grandma to worry about this all the time, so she came up with this idea. Qingqian is very stupid in other things on weekdays. It's like learning from female celebrities. She has never been able to learn well..."

The old lady was amused by Lin Qingqian, she pinched her little nose, and said dotingly: "Don't worry, take your time, your embroidery is much better than before, and grandma believes that you will become better as a female celebrity."

"Yes, anyway, if you don't do your best this time, Qingqian dare not use it to make grandma laugh again."

After leaving Jinglan Garden, the smile on Lin Qingqian's small face slowly faded, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of Mingyuan with dim eyes.

She said that Qiu Dongbai would not be wronged!

……

Early the next morning.

Little kitchen in Willow Garden.

Lin Qingqian was making lily and lotus seed soup, the old lady ate it yesterday and thought it was good, so Lin Qingqian said that it would be ready today and sent it to her.

Chun Xia came in from the outside, with a happy expression on his face, he said: "Miss, today the old lady gave orders, saying that in the future, the ladies will take turns to run the house, and everyone in the Prime Minister's House knows about it."

Lin Qingqian had the expected expression, and there was no surprise on her face.

Putting the lily and lotus seed soup into the food box, Lin Qingqian said to Chunxia: "You take this to the grandmother's yard, and when Madam Zhang asked why I didn't send it there in person, you said I was unwell, After boiling the lily and lotus seed soup, I rested in the courtyard."

Chun Xia looked suspicious, "But miss... aren't you alright?"

Lin Qing smiled inscrutablely, without explaining: "Just do as I tell you."

"Yes, miss, the servant girl is going right now."

Chun Xia didn't dare to ask more questions, and left Liuyuan with the food box.

Lin Qingqian went back to the bedroom, picked up the rouge box, put a light layer of rouge on the palm of her right hand, put down the rouge box, walked slowly to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, and ordered the other maids to make tea. Looks good.

It's just that she looked up at the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

Lin Qingqian was indeed waiting for someone, she was waiting for Lin Qingrou, and today, Lin Qingrou would definitely come!
……

Ming Garden.

Lin Qingrou was sitting in front of the desk practicing the piano, with a smile on her lips, she was in a good mood, until Xianglan ran in in a panic, shouting: "Miss, something happened! Something is wrong!"

Lin Qingqian frowned, and scolded in a cold voice: "Why are you panicking! How decent!"

Xianglan swallowed her saliva and said: "Miss, just now the old lady sent someone to pass on the message that from now on, the third lady and the other wives in the house will take turns to take charge of the house, one person will be in charge of January, and the second lady will be in charge from today. Home."

Lin Qingrou's face was instantly clouded, "What are you talking about! How dare you talk nonsense!"

Xianglan said in fear: "Miss, this servant is really not talking nonsense, Nanny Zhang just passed on the message and left, if you don't believe me, you can ask the third lady, and you will know that what this servant said is true!"

"Why did grandma suddenly let other aunts take turns running the house? Why..."

Lin Qingrou suddenly thought of what Lin Qingqian said that day, she gritted her teeth, and said in a dark voice: "It must be Lin Qingqian! She must have played some trick!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingrou rushed out of the bedroom angrily, causing Xianglan to shout and chase after her: "Miss...Miss, where are you going..."

……

willow garden.

Lin Qingqian put down the teacup in her hand, when she heard the anxious voice of a maidservant outside.

"Miss Si, please wait for a moment, the maidservant will go in and make an announcement."

"Go away! You dare to stop me even if you are a lowly maid, be careful that Miss Ben wants your life!"

"Miss Fourth, you..."

The corners of Lin Qingqian's lips curled up in a beautiful arc.

Look, it really came!
